Obviously they'd be in favour of the free market and human rights and feedom and allow the shutdown

Hard to make a comment when your mouth is full with the dicks from the C-suite at CN and CPKS.

Remember, the Conservatives' platform is to not do anything Trudeau is. Trudeau says he is taking it seriously.

Someone should force him to share his opinion.

"Mr. Poilievre, should Canada deem rail freight an essential service and nationalize the railways?"

Even as skilled mental gymnast as him would turn into a pretzel trying to navigate this one.

Nah, that would make them just as bad. /s

Canada is 5 corporations in a trench coat masquerading as a country....CN/CP is one of those. Or Canada is the matrix where we are blood hosts to these same corporations, no real choice or competition and backhanded "service" and products at best compared the non matrix world...we still haven't found our Neo to set us free yet.

Well yeah, no shit, in this particular situation the CPC has everything to gain by saying nothing:

NDP supports the Liberals, CPC rallies around them abaonding the working class and gains votes.

NDP doesn't support the Liberals, we end up with an election that the CPC will likely win a majority in.

In the off chance that the NDP doesn't support the Liberals but BQ does then it's much of a win for the CPC other than that some Liberals support will bleed to the NDP (and BQ in Quebec)

Smug pricks want to see it end in union busting. And it looks like the Libs/NDP will oblige.

Edit (Update): Yup.

Nah don’t place the blame on the ndp. When they’re supporting the workers.

Honestly. Jagmeet openly stated he would vote against back to work legislation.

Conservatives doing nothing. Who saw that coming?
